Does a solar eclipse always look the same or is there different types?

There are three types of solar eclipse.The most well-known type is a total eclipse. In a total eclipse the moon completely blocks the sun from view so that only the corona is visible.During an annular eclipse the moon is farther away than in a total eclipse and appears slightly smaller in the sky than the sun. As a result the sun will appear to form a ring around the moon.During a partial eclipse the moon only covers a portion of the sun. A total or annular eclipse will only appear as such along a relatively narrow path. Most places affected by the eclipse will experience a partial eclipse. A partial eclipse may also be seen for a time before and after a total or annular eclipse.

Why people observe a total lunar eclipse rather than a total solar eclipse?

Why do more people see a total lunar eclipse then a tootle solar eclipse?

More people can see a total lunar eclipse than a total solar eclipse because to see the complete solar eclipse you must be in a locations directly underneath it so your point of view and angle of the moon is correct. It doesn't matter as much as to where you are for a lunar eclipse...

What is total and partial eclipse?

For example, in the case of a solar eclipse, a "total eclipse" means that at some point, the entire Sun is darkened. A "partial eclipse" means that the Sun is only partially darkened - at no point does the entire Sun get darkened. Similar for lunar eclipse. Specifically for the case of a solar eclipse, it is also possible to get an "anular eclipse", meaning that a ring of light remains on the outside (that is, a part that doesn't get darkened, in the form of a ring).

Why does a total solar eclipse or total lunar eclipse not occur at least once a month?

Because the moon does not orbit in the same plane as the Earth-Sol plane. Note that they will only form a straight line twice per year, and if the three bodies are not lined up there will be no eclipse.
